I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-472

Mu Mingtang became more and more embarrassed. Xie Xuanchen saw this and smiled, “If you cover your eyes, wouldn’t you be unable to see? It’s the same thing in the end.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Xie Xuanchen was so amused by Mu Mingtang that he couldn’t help but laugh. The troubles caused by the losers outside seemed to be insignificant at the moment as Xie Xuanchen was in a happy mood. He closed his eyes and laid on his back on the bed, “Okay, I won’t look, don’t worry.”

Mu Mingtang was actually not at ease in the slightest. She quickly changed her clothes while paying attention to Xie Xuanchen’s movements from the corner of her eyes. Xie Xuanchen was lying on the bed. After a while, he suddenly asked, “Why do you need to change into a chest top(1) when you are already going to sleep?”

(T/N: That’s what I’ll translate as instead of a bra in ancient times, since it’s less explicit and also I don’t think it was really considered one back then. It’s more of a silk top that is held together by the straps around the neck)

Mu Mingtang subconsciously covered her chest, “How did you know I was changing my chest top? Did you open your eyes?”

“I didn’t open my eyes— wouldn’t you know best if I did?” Xie Xuanchen said as he still lazily remained where he was, “I heard it.”

It was not necessary for him to have to watch her change. After blocking out the visual interference, his other senses become more acute, which was also quite fun in one sense.

Mu Mingtang blushed as she ignored him and quickly tied up her clothes. However, Xie Xuanchen was an extremely bad person. The more Mu Mingtang didn’t want to hear it, the more he wanted to report it one by one, “You tied your chest top so quickly to the point where I suspect you didn’t do it properly. Since you were changing that a moment ago, you’re now changing your underpants.”

“Shut up!”

Xie Xuanchen couldn’t help laughing even with his eyes closed. Mu Mingtang came over angrily and kicked him hard, “Annoying.”

Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes with a smile before he turned over and pressed Mu Mingtang under him. She was so angry that she pulled up the quilt and was about to go to sleep. Suddenly, he found Xie Xuanchen hovering around her and she stilled, “What are you doing?”

“I really think your top is not tied properly, so let me check it for you.”

“Didn’t you say I should sleep well today?”

“I changed my mind.”

Mu Mingtang was slightly annoyed by that and accused him, “You don’t mean what you say at all! With an attitude like that, you’re the head general of the army?”

“You believe my words when I’m in bed? I wouldn’t even believe it myself.”

Because they were in a hurry today, the servants didn’t have time to hang up the curtains, which left the windows empty and bare. Mu Mingtang could clearly see her surroundings while lying on the quilt, so she felt inexplicably exposed as if she were lying on the ground in the open air. But this feeling of exposure somehow stimulated Xie Xuanchen even further.

He kissed her gently and she gradually reciprocated. Under the moonlight, the beast once again took hold of the maiden.

So the next day, Mu Mingtang got up late again. The servants were standing outside the door holding utensils as they were very experienced in this situation.

Before leaving, the Prince specifically ordered them to let the Princess sleep quietly and not to disturb her. In fact, even if Xie Xuanchen didn’t say it, the maids would understand what to do.

Every time the Prince returned with his troops, the Princess always tended to become more tired for a few days and had difficulty getting out of bed. They were servants, not ignorant girls, so they knew better than to comment on it.
